Analysis
Heading 9030 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta…. It divides into 11 six-digit subheadings and 18 eight-digit tariff lines, with 25 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
17 of its 18 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (94%) and 1 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 1.7%. The median line pays duty-free.
The largest subheadings are 9030.90 (parts and accessories, 6 lines), 9030.20 (oscilloscopes and oscillographs, 2 lines), 9030.33 (other, without a recording device, 2 lines) and 9030.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 37th percentile of the headings in chapter 90.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515), Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing (334418) and Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
